177. If you don't die, you won't die
Hao Dong was obviously excited when he saw this, and Ergou tried to pour cold water on him next to him: "You better learn how to ride a horse first." ”
"Huh?" Hao Dong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that there was such a thing. But then he reacted: "Everyone knows how to ride horses? ”
Qi Jue nodded silently, Zhao Zheng said "um", and the queen didn't even have the strength to answer him and went back to the room directly.
Ergou's face was stricken: "The sound is good, go back and teach you what riding is." ”
Qi Jue directly pushed Hao Dong's shoulder and sent the person back to the house: "I will arrange time to learn, I will teach you." ”
Zhao Zheng followed behind, his eyes widened, and he said in his heart, when did I promise to bring a training course?! But after thinking about it, Hao Dongzhen didn't know how to ride a horse, and it was they who were in trouble when they turned around.
At this time, he drank too much and thought that things would be gone, so he turned his head and ordered Captain Luo: "What, although I didn't mention this above, but let's arrange it, that little comrade is a novice." ”
This is indeed not too much trouble for Captain Luo, after all, this is a prairie itself, and it has been famous for its cavalry since ancient times, so it is absolutely convenient to find horses and people who can teach horseback riding here.
As for the venue, there will definitely be supporting places where you can rent horses.
So the next day, Captain Luo took Zhao Zheng to check the specific transportation situation, and the driver little soldier acted as Hao Dong's riding training instructor.
Only then did Hao Dong know that this little warrior named Luo Qing and a little distant relative to Captain Luo turned out to be a very good knight himself, and he had won many trophies in the equestrian competitions here.
The ranch they went to was not far from Hailar, about a forty-minute drive away.
Although it is close, the ranch covers a large area, and after passing the building at the gate, when he looked inside, Hao Dong was immediately shocked.
If the impression left on him by the vast Gobi was huge and vicissitudes, then the endless grassland here definitely brings a completely different feeling.
Vitality and vitality, as well as indescribable openness.
Some people say that looking at the grassland is like looking at the sea, and Hao Dong has no memories of the sea in his memory, but he feels that if these two feelings are the same, then whether it is the grassland or the sea, it will definitely be his favorite scenery.
Of course, they didn't come here to see the view, and soon someone brought out three tall horses from the stable, followed by a slightly dwarfer black and white flower.
The man in charge of the horses explained a few words to Luo Qing in the local dialect, and then left. Only then did Luo Qing turn his head to Hao Dong and his party:
"The only one who can't ride a horse is Xiao Hao, right? These three are trained racehorses, but they have retired when they are old. After a while, Sister Qin, you can take everyone to ride and play, just on the front field, in the fence. Xiao Hao, you come with me, let's learn to get off the horse first. ”
Luo Qing was very positive, but Qi Jue said last night that he would teach Hao Dong, so he didn't take the reins of the horse, and came directly with Hao Dong.
In fact, getting on and off the horse is really not as exaggerated as in the TV series.
Although the stirrup will involuntarily slide under the horse's belly as soon as it is forced, it is indeed easy to fall if the center of gravity is not grasped well. But as long as the strength in the arms is enough, you can hold the saddle steadily, and the feet are a little harder, and you can turn it over in one breath, and it will be very refreshing.
Hao Dong's hands and feet were uncoordinated several times, and he couldn't kick on the saddle several times. Hou Shou gradually understood the trick a little, and the cooperation of his hands and feet kept up, and he easily got on the horse.
He stiffened just after sitting on it.
The saddle didn't feel much when I looked at it, but when I sat up, I realized that the amplitude of this straddle was really not small.
Hao Dong felt as if he had never straddled at such a large angle.
Moreover, the thickness of the saddle made it impossible for his legs to stick directly to the horse's skin, and the distance between them was not felt at all, but when he sat on it, he felt as if he was 108,000 miles apart, and he did not feel like he was sitting on the back of an animal at all.
Luo Qing saw that Hao Dong was sitting firmly, and he led the horse in front of him and walked slowly two steps, and Hao Dong's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
He felt like he was sitting on top of a heap of dangling blankets, soft under his ass. He felt as if he was going to be shaken off, but when he tried to clamp the horse, he felt as if he was using it in the air.
After taking two steps, Luo Qing also saw Hao Dong's problem, and was about to give him another guidance, but Qi Jue opened his mouth first: "Can you change him to a thinner saddle?" ”
They will definitely have to carry a load on horseback in the next few days, so Luo Qing arranged a full set of cushions, and when he heard Qi Jue ask this, he also realized that Hao Dong might have to slowly adapt to it.
There was no way, Hao Dong could only dismount first, and wait for Luo Qing to remove the blanket and the like under the saddle before continuing.
As a result, while waiting, Ergou rode a jujube red horse and swayed over: "Yo, what's wrong?" ”
Hao Dong ignored him.
Ergou actually understands at a glance, but he is a bit cheap by nature, Hao Dong ignored him, but he was provocative:
"Little mouse, it's not easy to ride a horse, isn't it? Watch your brother show you your hands, go back and learn from your brother, and you can also learn to be heroic! ”
Saying that, this guy turned the horse's head and began to speed up, ran a hundred meters and turned his head again, and finally pulled the reins when he came to Hao Dong, trying to make a handsome brake.
Although the horse is retired, it used to be at the event level, listening to the password and making movements, not only responsive, but also very standardized.
When he ran before, he looked very beautiful, and Hao Dong was very envious of it. At this moment, he was pulled by the reins during the run, and naturally he immediately hissed, and his front hooves were raised.
The shape of this horse is very good, this standing posture is really good-looking, but unfortunately the knight on its back is a little problematic.
Ergou hasn't ridden a horse for a long time, and he just ran two laps before he found a little feeling, and his reaction hasn't been able to fully keep up, so it's not a good time to show off.
Unfortunately, he was used to it, and it was only when the horse stood up that he realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. The legs were not clamped, and the center of gravity of the upper body was not right, so he was directly pouted.
If he was thrown to the ground like this, it would be fine, but his left foot somehow got stuck in the stirrup and couldn't get out, and suddenly he was hanging upside down.
Now all the people who saw it were shocked, and immediately left what they were doing, and all ran here, and at the same time beckoned to each other, seeing that the posture was to stabilize the horse first, so that it would not drag people around.
